KUNG FU PANDA is a GEM of a Movie (2008) Movie Reaction | First Time Watching 

TBH I never saw Po's training as ONE day. The journey to Tai Lung and back HAD to take multiple days and we saw the sun set a few times in that montage

27:45 "It's nothing." It's a really sad scene to see as an adult. So many people give up on dreams because they let today's failure dictate tomorrow's decisions. Had Shifu taught Tai Lung how to handle failure, Tai Lung could've been so much more; with or without Dragon Scroll.

The thing I love about animation is that everything is deliberate. You don't have to wonder if that thoughtful expression was just the actor wondering if they left the oven on. It was drawn there. Every little detail, the tiny movements that you barely notice but that stop a scene from feeling strange and mechanical. All of it. (slightly less so with more digital animation making use of tools that help to fill out complex scenes. But still for the most part.) There's a bowl that starts to slide off the noodle cart when Po is heading for the stairs, you hear the ceramic slide as it moves, and Po catches it and puts it back. It happens so quickly, and it's not a large movement, it feels like a detail that, in live action, could even have been unscripted. But putting it in the animation gives us extra information. The cart isn't just heavy and unwieldy, the bowls are unstable and fragile, Po has to keep his focus on the cart while he moves or stuff will break. It's a nothing detail, lasts maybe half a second, and absolutely doesn't matter, but it's the sort of thing I always enjoy because someone made the choice to put it there, and it contains so much condensed information. Obviously some of it IS just decoration, but in animation, well... "there are no accidents" :p

My favorite minor details is how the 'Legend of the Dragon Warrior' myth is formed. A warrior 'like no other' fell out of the sky in a ball of fire. Also like how Po "Eats when he's upset" and as soon as he 'defeats' Shifu in the dumpling fight he's not hungry because he's not upset anymore.

I love Pos journey - from idolizing the Furious Five, to being to told by his idols he doesn’t fit in, and to him finally gaining respect from them. It made me emotional seeing them bow in respect to him at the end. Po may be fictional but he felt so real and I wanted to hug him by the end. That’s the power of a good story.

I will never get tired of hearing Jack Black make Jack Black noises.

I would definitely suggest doing the series, at least the second one. It, like How to Train Your Dragon, ends up being a great story that gets told between the three movies.

Adam has a great narrative voice! I can see him narrating audio books or working on NPR…

Kung Fu Panda is such an INCREDIBLE movie. I appreciate it more every time i watch it. 2 and 3 are decent, too.

Great to see you all reacting to Kung Fu Panda. Yes of course do all three! Then How to Train Your Dragon!! Can’t wait!!

It’s a great film, and has stood the test of time. Extra points to a film that gives you something new on a rewatch. Once you know the end message, rewatching the meal scene when everyone is like “these noodles are amazing, they’re so good!” And Po is like “awww you guys, you’re too kind, I wish I knew the secret ingredient and could give you the best” 😊

It was great to hear you praise Ian McShane’s performance and especially the way you shouted out Mr Ping’s VA too. Rare to see someone both recognize the voice and acknowledge the great work they did to bring a character to life. PLEASE watch the second one, it’s the best movie out of the trilogy and the best sequel ever made for a movie, in my humble opinion. Directorial debut of someone who was head of story for this first movie, she made an AMAZING sequel that answers all your questions lol. I personally don’t think you need to watch the TV shows or spin offs. Watch on your own time. Enjoy Kung Fu Panda, guys!😊

Crazy how this movie is over 15 years old. I remember seeing this in theaters and when the credits started, I remember thinking that this was one of the best movies I’ve ever seen

I got the chance to see the 4th film on Thursday and it was honestly pretty damn good and fun. It ends up having some important parallels and full circle moments to this first film showing how far Po has come along in his ascension up the levels of Kung Fu. Definitely one of the most consistently great animated franchises we have had so far in recent years.

You should definetly react to Kung Fu Panda 2 and 3

Kung Fu panda is lovely, hoping this does well and you guys react to the sequels. The second one is my favourite

I always did get Nacho Libre vibes when Po says "I love Kung fuuuu!"

As much as I love/really like the sequels, I still think the first movie probably has the best fights which is impressive for a CG animated movie from 2008!

I feel like jack black never makes a flop! lol 😂

Loved this! Definetely would love for you to watch next ones. + Honestly even more excited for How To Train Your Dragon as its not so comedic, but more story and emotion driven series.

I love the first 2 Kung Fu Panda movies. The messages, humor, and animation are all exceptional. The film still holds up. I need to see 3 and now 4. I love how powerful these characters are.

Thanks for all the Nacho Libre references that I had no idea were mixed in haha so great and such a fun time. Can't wait to go on patreon and watch the whole movie with you.

Continue this series ASAP

It only just occurred to me now that Oogway dies when he did because as long as he was alive he had the power to reverse his decision to make Po the Dragon Warrior so Sifu could hope for another way forward. But when he was dead it forcef Sifu to accept that he had to find a way to train Po.

One of my favourite scenes is when they were at the birth place of kung fu. Shifu: Do you WANT to learn kung fu Po: Yes... Shifu: Then I AM. Your. Master. The scene is so cool because at first Shifu had no desire to train Po. And although Po was enthusiastic and wanted to learn kung fu so badly, later he got discouraged by Shifu's harsh treatment and said 'You're not my Master.'

You just Cant Skip KFP2

26:59 Just like he played with chopsticks with shifu, brilliant

you guys need to watch the second movie, it's the best of best

I need y’all to react to the trilogy. I forgot how good this movie was.

Absolute classic film. I think most would agree w me that you guys just have to react to KP 2, it's a fan favorite!

Best animated movie of all time for me, i just love kung fu panda

The second movie is even better written

"Tell me how proud you are of me Sifu!"

YES! Please do a reaction for Kung Fu Panda 2 and 3 as well ✨

Pretty crazy that some of you have all seen Akira and some of the Ghibli movies before Kung Fu Panda. That's just not really a common thing.😅

always love when Hector uses his word: potentiality. Great reaction, jack black is a GOAT

11:29 😂😂 Se le salió lo latino de golpe 🤣

Before you see KFP 2, watch the short film Secrets of the Furious Five.

I love this franchise The 4th movie was actually fun

Love this movie, love animation and I gotta say I think I like it better the older I get. I don't remember feeling the emotions I feel watching it now when I watched it the first or second time, I definitely don't remember tearing up. And the amazing thing about Kung Fu Panda is that 2 and 3 are great, neck a neck with the first one, which is a rare and incredible feat. It is up there with the best trilogies ever (same as How to Train Your Dragon) .

Omg people PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO AND GET THESE VIEWS UP. Not only to get thru all the KFP movies but boys, I NEEEEEEEED to watch yall react to How To Train Your Dragon 🙏🏽😩 those movies are S TIER 🔥

“There is no secret Ingredient” ❤

Now we need you to see the 2nd and 3rd film. If i had to rank the movies it be 1,2,and 3

Yes please watch the rest of the Panda movies and How to train your dragon too ❤

Loved your reactions to one of my favorite movies, please review the sequels, part 2 is awesome ❤

Would love to see you do the whole KFP oeuvre. I am looking forward to watching the fourth one! I really hope you watch How To Train Your Dragon even more though, it is my favorite animated film series of all time! (And that's saying something cos I'm old! 😎😁)

Would love to see a reaction for the rest of the series!

I love Kung Fuuuuuuuuuu!!!

I was sad when I had the noodle dream😢

Jack black was born for the role of Po

I was hoping y’all would react to these! Love this franchise and Jack Black is so good as Po. Hopefully 4’s good too, but haven’t watched it yet, so keep spoiler free if you wanna say your opinion on it.

Great reaction as always❤ but I have a question, why you guys don't react to Avatar netflix show? I actually waited for you to react to it😢

You guys do the omen movies for the new one in April

Awesome

Skadoosh!

This Movie is Goated! Skadoosh ;)

I remember film good

Oh jeez, I do NOT recommend Legends of Awesomeness. I’m sure some people enjoyed it, but I hate… HATE what it did to the characters. Everyone was an idiot, except Po, who they inexplicably made really arrogant. Which is like the one trait Po doesn’t have. Perhaps I should give it another shot, but I was so disgusted with the disrespect to some of my favorite characters in media, that it was a very unpleasant experience. If you watch it, I hope you’re more entertained than me. Instead I recommend the Secrets of the Furious Five, Secrets of the Masters, Secrets of the Scroll, and Kung Fu Panda Holiday.

kung fu panda is so goated

Do reactors have some kind of secret pact when it comes to watching movies? I saw Blind Wave react to Kung Fu Panda and then suddenly I’ve seen at least 3 other channels upload their reactions to it almost instantly 😂

im waiting for a netflixs one piece and Avatar the last Airbender live action series reactions to this three 🎉❤

panda is not a panda

Im nervous about watching KFP4, the trilogy was perfect and didn't need another film. Hope it's not like Toy Story 4 zz

I definitely want Tai Lung to find redemption. Definitely the hardest villain of the series imo.

Guys, dont waste your time on the show. It is for small kids and it is bad. Instead watch the movies 1,2,3 - they are all 10/10 and may be 4th, but it is only 5/10.

Its hard to believe you guys haven't seen it yet🙄

KFP 1 8/10 , KFP 2 10/10 , KFP 6/10 imagine ur introduction is the worst one in the franchise.

Who's the 3-D obsessed dude in the group? I personally am not a fan, but I respect the loyalty to the format.
